Introduction: I intern at a veterinary clinic and was the only person able to care for a neonatal kitten that was found by a busy road. The kitten was freshly born, completely alone, and weighed less than 2oz. Many thought he wouldn't make it, but my coworkers and I did everything to support his health, which included purchasing this product for him. ..Now I think he loves it more than he loves me!Contents: The product came with everything described but like another reviewer, I didn't see anything that hinted at a hidden nipple/bottle insert in the toy. The package came undamaged.Use: The artificial heartbeat was easy enough to use and I left it on the 24 hour setting so he would never feel alone. I really didn't think he would take to it as much as he did, but he REALLY DID! Every time I looked into his space, he was snuggling by the cat. The heartbeat is nice because it provides a sound and vibration. I slept closely to the cat and the noise didn't disturb my sleep. I only used the heat pad once since I have him on a separate heat pad, so I can only comment that the one time I used it it worked well and produced the same amount of heat as my heat pad.Problems: A little over 1 week after having the heart on 24 hours, it stopped working. Of course, I changed the batteries thinking that was the obvious problem. However, changing the batteries didn't fix the issue and the heart stopped working. At this point, I thought this purchase was a bust since I felt like I had paid 40 dollars for a stuffed toy. However, looking at how much he just loves the cat, I believe he may have bonded with it despite it not having a heartbeat. He still cuddles with it and it is a staple for moving him between home and clinic. He needs his little buddy and loves it so much. **I have contacted the seller in hopes to replace the heartbeat component. After I have received a replacement, I will update my review!UPDATE: The company was very easy to reach out to and contact about the broken heartbeat component. I received a replacement last week, which operates perfectly so far, and they also provided more heat packs which I thought was so thoughtful! My little guy is almost 7 weeks old and now he play fights with it all the time. Now that he's grown, I only use the heartbeat component when he is alone for long periods of time so he doesn't feel alone.  Read Less
